Monday's Valley bandh called off

The Chhettri Samaj Nepal has withdrawn its bandh (general strike) in the Kathmandu Valley on Monday.

The Samaj agreed to call off the bandh after reaching an understanding with the government during the talks held at the Ministry of Peace Sunday evening.

The Samaj withdrew the bandh as the government side agreed to form a committee to look into the demands of the Samaj.

Demanding status of indigenous nationality for Chhettris, the Samaj enforced bandh in the Valley today, which paralysed normal life from early morning till evening.

Nearly 300 bandh organisers were arrested from different parts of Kathmandu valley today. nepalnews.com
